Hi, I had stitches with mine. I used to dread waking up for first couple of weeks incase I had morning glory, it took about 4 weeks for it not to be painful when I had and erection. I think it was about 5 weeks before I tried masturbating but I waited the full 8 weeks before having sex.
I tried after 3 weeks as I was so horny all the time but it hurt a little not too much I still climaxed but was a little sore after the first time I could jerk off this no pain was about 5 weeks
The further into healing that you are, the less likely the wound is to open up again even with very strong erections.
Try not to _deliberately_ get an erection for the next couple of weeks. You should be ok with nocturnal erections since if they cause pain then the erection will automatically subside to reduce it.
Make sure that you don't drink anything for at least 2 hours before going to bed and empty your bladder and bowels immediately before turning in. If you wake in the night then go and empty your baldder again, even if you are not absolutely needing it.
Bro i feel you . Like what they have suggested decrease ur water intake and stop drinking 2hrs before sleeping . Pee as many times as u need to before sleeping . Best method for me was to pull up my legs towards my chest and sleep on my sides. Would do this when I feel like I'm starting to get erect and after a few secs it would come down . You can also try to put cold cloths over it . Should do the trick. I wouldn't worry Abt erections three weeks post op so don't worry !
night time erections were the worst part of it for me. Didn't sleep properly for weeks because of the pain they caused. But they only caused one stitch to pop so it wasn't too bad.
You can't control them, so no point in being worried about it. Try the tip about not drinking, for me it made things a little better, but really it's just patience and letting your body work it's magic.
